SPIRIT OF Trir, PUBLIC JOURNALS. The account of the Quarter's Revenue has been published; and a melancholy account it.is. We are told, indeed, that we ought to consider it a " satis factory" - statement, and people, no doubt, there are who. may, _derive satisfaction from the most pregnant evidences of .our decline as an opulent community. Cobbett, for instance, will exult in his next minis bar at, this highly gratifying fruit of the national pro gress ; and perhaps, the Sieurs O'Connell and Shiel may boast of it as an harbinger of emancipation. — It „appears, then, upon the face of the Government returns, that the income of the year preceding the 10th of October, 1825, was, in round numbers, about 49,760,000/, and ,that of the year to the 10th of Oc tobers 1826,. 46,500,0001, leaving a deficit on the year 0f1,260,004/. It appears further, that the Oc toberquarter 0'1'182.5 produced of revenue 13,180,0001. and that of the last quarter, to get. 10,12,290,0001., leaving an apparent deficit of 890,0001. We say an apparent deficit, because the real falling off is very sett eddy larger. We refer to, our city article for proofs,. established on official documents, and on the speech of the' Chancellor of the Exchequer himself, that the wine sdrawback, amounting to 1,050,0001., was . de ducted from the October quarter of 1825, and ought to be credited to that quarter, in a comparison between itsand the corresponding one just concluded! The sum therefore of the existing deficiency ought to be measured by the surplus of the October quarter of 1825, actually forthcoming and available, as revenue over that of 1826,, plus the amount of wine duties repaid to the merchants in the former quarter ; the total of the two elements constituting a. real balance against the last quarter, of about 1,940,0001., at the rate of.something more than 7 4 800,000/. per annum. It will not escape the public observation how. conspicuous has been the falling off of the Customs within the last three months; 698,0001., the ministerial statement, is pretty well. But there is likewise an addition to be made to, this allowance, however liberal. , foreign silk goods were wholly prohibited last year, they are this year admitted on payment of a considerable duty. It has been said re peatedly, at least we are told so by the silk-manufac turers, and all the enemies of a free trade . in that arti cle, that there is and has been a large importation of manufactured silk, and of course, as Ministers .boast Of the efficacy of their measures for the suppression of smuggling, there must have been a large amount of illitys So with regard to foreign corn of all descrip ticms: it was last year prohibited by law. During a large part of this October quarter,' it has been, ad• mitred subject to a duty. Take away these two duties from the receipts of last quarter, and see how large an augmentation must be made to the difference between the, two quarters beyond the sum acknowledged by Mi nisters of 608,000/. That there has been.a falling off . in the stamp &les of about 238,0001. this last quar ter, is to us no suliket of surprise or of regret. That branch of the revenue luisl been swollen unnaturally by the activity of fictitious capita!, and the baneful pre valence of paper credit, or, ni other words, by the sys tem of eternally running in debt, and if the country pays for the suppression of it, even after the rate of a million sterling per .innuMS we Shall - not deplore a loss of reVelitte, for which we feel so amply secoinpensed. nut there is one thing which we shall never cease to .larneW, or to expose in colours best calculated to fix upon it the deepest public attention: we mean the wickedness of Utirtitiog, a course of prodigal extrava gance, Wlikh nOtliing but an actual redundancy, and . uneasiness of richeS, could excuse. What is to be time end of our finances; if the same scale of expenditure be persisted in, now that the produce of the taxes is declining at the rate of seven or eight millions a year, as when it stood so many millions higher? These gorgeous palaces," triumphal arches, and ,other branches of holyday finery, must be given up, or even the' lame of a sinking fund will be obliterated from the yearly budget. Nor this all—if these- overs grOwn establiAnnents, which vanity, cupidity, or taste for. warlike. oatentations has engendered—if they be not curtailed by Parliament, and immediately, it is not 'only the noininal provision for a rrmmnote effect upon the debt of more than 700,000,000/., but the means , of paying its regular interest must be withheld; and let the eSsurt asid aristocracy then consult their Annual Regisiert for the causes and history of the French , Revolutions-e-TVie#. THE :MONEY R K Wr.—The announcement of the quarter's revenue was: too late for it to have any influence on the fimds; ansl we must wait till to morrow to to see its effect, either Pool the jobbers. this real holders of stock. It wig se seen that the revenue account, this quarter, presents A den 6 e l l o f 890,050 t, as compared with the soesespout ing quartet' (Mast year; but the deficiency is in retu;:y ids niusly beyond this, as we will proceed to show. In Memt fn 1425, the duty on wine was reduced, and the reduction extended to the stock in hand of the wine merchants.. Now, according to the Speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 13th of March last, the amount of the wine drawback on the stock in hand 'WO 1,050,0001. ; and this sum having been • paid to the w sne-merchants by the Excise in the latter end of July, 1025, it follows that the Exeise revenue in the (quarter endbg the 10th of October, 1825, had to sustain a charge 0f.1,050,000/., from which the ii_resent quarter exemp:; or, in other words, the Excise revenue of the varier ending time 10th of °atelier, 1825,:heing 5,154,85 a, after deduction of a charge 0ft,050,000/. for the wine dra wback, would, 'without this charge' have produced 6,2048 581 -; and therefore the real. deficiency in time revenue, as com pared with the correspOnding quarter last i year, will stand thus : Real produce of the ExitiAil in the Quarter ending Oct. 10, 1925 Protluee of the present Quartor 5,226,1;23 Deficiency In the Excite J.:078,185 T;',.. , ficiency in the Custonie Dint): iitatnpe 288,951) Ditto, Mitre,baleen* Ditto, Pogroffice . 19,000 Deduct increase on Fiche Z71,R61) 1,942,241 oitto, Tat ,. .... „ 144,191 64,057 41,86t4,05 and to contradi c t This is as.the Ma tter reall y stands ; I Its is to contradict the. Chancellor of the Exchequer; for this is the manner in which he expresses himself in the speech to which we have before alludeth-- The actual receipt of the Customs and Excise fur the year 182 f ) we.* 31,646,000 h ; hut this stun would havech ha touc been h ppened iu larger, had it not been for variotui occurrences whi the course of die year, and which affectill those !glitches of the revenae to an extent much greater than I had atitielpated—occur• renter which cannot again lace. I alludeion o pr f ihncipally to the amount repaid, in twaseq take p ofuence the reduct te wine duty to the holders of the stock on hand. This was no lea than 11050,0001..*4t formidable sum, and much more, as I have already o bserved, than I aoneeived it would lie. Since, however, ► it arose from it cause of only casual occurrene , e, and since there can be Ao ortrativa paraliti W it upon the Wiciso awl cutout* of the present year, I am entitled to assume (supposing no other circum stance interferes to reduce the net receipt of the revenue) that this sum of 1,060,000/. would be receivable in the year 1826 - ;. that is to say, that it will not be abstracted from the gross revenue of Customs and Excise in 1826, as it was in 1825." It appears, therefore, according to their own ac • counts, that the deficiency of the present quarter amounts to 1,868,165/.—lbid. ,-- , While-one Class. of persons are urging the Govern ment to employ the unengaged artisans upon public works, and would have them level hills, deepen rivers, and improve the roads, at the public expellee, others are dealing out censure no less warmly against some of these very public works themselves. Our readers will readily perceive that we allude to what is said re lative to the alterations at Windsor, and the buildings going on in the Parks. At first it may appear strange that a period of so much financial difficulty should , hive been chosen for such an outlay. There are other ' reasons, too, why these matters, which have been delayed so long, might, perhaps, as well have been postponed, at least for the present ; and the whole affair might, we think, have been rendered more palatable to the na tion, had the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who profess to have such ample means for other pur poses, found in the Crown lands•the necessary funds for those purposes. On the other hand, the King of England is worse lodged than many of ,his subjects is an old and trite observation, and not more trite . thau true. But the nation having, either from inability, econo my, or some other cause, staved off the subject of palace building so long, there would have been no great harm perhaps, under all the circumstances, of the case, bad the next age been left to consult its own taste 14 wants upon a subject on which this, as well as the last, has been so niggardly. But though this is the view of the subject which we should have been inclin ed, perhaps, to take, had it now been mooted for the first time, we do not, on . the other hand, look upon the steps which have been taken, or the plans which have been adopted, in quite so glooMy a light as some of our contemporaries appear inclined to do. The improvements at Windsor seem to be very much a na tional object, and to fall in very generally with the national taste. That the • expenditure will far exceed the' original estimate and design, is no more than we expected, , and indeed was probably expected by-Mini sters themselves when they nominated one of the gentlemen opposite" (Mr. Baring) as one of the Com missioners. About the new palace in St. James's Park, there has not been all the candour and openneSs which we should have liked to have seen upon the occasion. The public were led at first to suppose that nothing more was originally intended but to make such altera tions in Buckingham House as would render it a suitable residence for the King. Instead of altering it, however, the whole, or nearly the whole, of the fanner palace has been razed to the ground, and an entirely new one is building at an expense, as far as has been yet calculated, of upwards of 2.50,0001.--- Now here we think a march has been stolen upon the public, which they have some reason to complain of. Had the whole intention; and all its consequences, been fairly put before Parliament in the first instance, there is a spirit both of generosity and - pride among the people that would in all probability, have yielded, after, perhaps, a little of that grumbling for which John Bull is both noted and privileged. But even as it is, the country need not look upon the expenditure as one . lif entire loss. No small part of it returnslO the revenue in the shape of taxes ; while the number of mechanics who are thusemployed,is a circumstance which cannot but be beneficial. - as far as it goes, to that class of the community who are 'now in so much want of labour. Of the other palace, in the Green 'Park, the less, we fear, that is said, the better. The attempt to throw the expense of it upon the public, will be one of the most indiscreet acts that :Ministers could possibly commit : and we would earnestly con• jure all parties, if it be yet posible, to pause before the die Is cast on a topic which will be so generally condemned. There are obvious reasons of delicacy why we do not, wish to enlarge tipmithe subject—but )110'1114y feel, and yet lie firm. 7 —ifforning Herald. A PICTURESQUE WAA TU OUR ON THE RIVE BY BARON MEDNIANSKI. THE CASTLE or CSEITIIF, IN HUNGARY.-" The CRS of Cseitlte, on the \Vaag, is now but a mass of ruins a rubbish. After having belonged to Matthias' Corvinus and to Maximilian 11., it fell into the hand* of Elizabeth Bathory, niece of Stephen Bathory, King of Poland, and wife of Francis Nadasdy. This Princess has given an un happy celebrity to the castle, where she displayed for many years. a degree of eruelty of which history can afford few examples. She educated in her residence indigent young women, to whom she gave portions, and married them on eertain remarkable occasions in the year ; but she punished with severity and violence the most trifling faults, and seemed to take pleasure in seeing these innocent creatures suffer. One day she struck one of them in a brutal wanner ;, and the blood of the : victim having flown into her ewe, she ran to a mirror to wipe it tiff. She fancied that her skin became whiter, more beautiful, and more brilliant; and the;idea occurred to her of renewing her youth by bathing herself in the blood of these unfortunate girls. Two old elnunber.maids and her dwarf . Pitzko as, suited her in this horrible project. The youthful female attendants successively disappeared, and what is alnuist inconceivable, above three hundred had been sacrificed to the caprice' of this ferocious woman before any discovery was made. At length, a young man, having lost his in tended bride in this manner, conceived some suspicions, and, by metres of money, even obtained the mortal remains of her whose loss he deplored. .Stung with indignation, he hastened to Presburg, where he loudly proclaimed his .grief and his despair. As a Princess was implicated, tlicorge Thurzo, the Palatine of the kingdom, resolved :to repair in person to the spot ; where he surprised the four monsters in the fact, at the very moment when their vic tim was expiring, after liSving in vain struggled with her executioners. Proceedings weep commenced, and the whole published, to satisfy the public indiption. h ie \ two W dwarf, also, to lose his hand, omen were condemned to have their right hands et off, and to be beheaded; the and then to be chat into the flumes. The a P h l' e n d le o s a s th w re e e e confined in a dark and nar'r'ow prison, where , years afterwards, in 1614?-4)nly a few yeaw:eh,eairelow,,,tt sel 1 porter - of the castle still skewed the plaee abominations had been committed, the earthen • I had received the blood, and the deep pit into which the body of the victim was thrown. t4ii...............e .*.

Wm. Deming, the guard, was then examined. He said that he had been gourd of the c oach f ur nine years, and on the 9th of July last. The coach gets into Leice7telli on dots on between y five and six in the morning. He has no recollection of such a parcel, and thinks that jilt had arrived he must have noticed it, as he was aware that such parcels were in the habit of coming, although he did not know what they 'contained. ' Mr. Lee, on the part of Messrs. Waterhouse, now submitted that his clients had done all in their power to unravel the case— . they had brought this,guard up, at some expense, and were now ready to give every facility for meeting , the question in the shape of a civil action. The complainant's solicitor declared that his belief was, that the parcel never left the booking-office. Mr. Lee, with some warmth, reprobated such an assertion, as levelled against several clerks whose characters were irre proachable. Mr. Bradley (the complainant) wished positively to deny as assertion that Mr. Lee had made at the former investigation, that he (Mr. Bradley) had offered to settle the business for MR. He assured his Lordship that he never made any such offer, and, on the contrary, would pursue the law, to the utmost until lie ob tained his 2001. The Loan Marna thought nothing further could be done in the business, but he repeated what he said on the former investi gation, that as a matter of caution the way-bill and the parcels ought always to be compared when the guard of a coach was phauged, he repeated this because a Morning Paper (the Morn iny Herald) had taken up the subject and had remarked, in an swer to his observations, that the delay occasioned by such a mea sure would be too great ; • now he was certain that no extra delay need be created by a such a insecure being adopted, and he could produce instances of it; Messrs. Collins' Southampton coaches, regularly changed guards•at Farnham, and the plan was there adopted with the greatest ease. Mr. Lee—But the practice in our line is for one guard to give the other guard credit for his honesty. The LOUD MAYOR.—Then that is perfect madness, to make one man accountable for property which he does not know that he ever had in his possession. I certainly, at the same time, highly disapprove of the mode resorted to by Messrs. Bradley fur conveying this property. The case was then dismissed. AIABLBOROUGH-STREET.-- Charles Thomas White, a bookseller, who has been several days in custody on a charge of arson, by setting fire to his house, No. 265, High Holborn, was brought to this office for a second examination yesterday. Mr. ALLEY attended - for the prosecution, and Mr. Anos.ritos • for the prisoner. 'ln'coneequence of Mr. Alley not having been present at the first examination of the iwisoner, and that examination having taken place, too, before Mr. Derat, the Magistrate, who was absent yes terday, and in whose stead Sir GNORGE FARRANT presided, the whole of the evidence taken down on the first occasion, and which we detailed on a former day, was read over by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, on the prisoner being placed at the bar. The only alteration or addition . made to their evidence by any of the former witnesses, all of whom were present, was by Samuel Furzmau, the watch-house keeper of St. Giles's parish. . This witness stated, in iuldition to his former evidence, that on the day but one after the first fire at the prisoner's house; on the sth of August, the witness, the prisoner, and two other persons, met at the house of witness's brother, which is a public-house, and, while speaking on the, sub ject of the fire and the links that were supposed to have caused it, the prisoner observed that he had dined the day before with his mother, and she reminded him that seven or eight months ago there had been some links in the house. Witness replied that it seemed odd he should say so now, when on the day of the fire he positively declared to him (witness) that there never had been any links in the house. The prisoner then said that lie had recollected, on his mother reminding him of it, that one night he had a party of friends at his house; they were sitting in the open air, in the yard, and the candles having been blown out, they had some links or torches lighted instead. After this conversation, witness said that himself, Mr. Lazarus, the then lodger of Mr. White, and Mr. White himself, went the same evening to the shop of Mr, Bradford, where some links were ascertained to have been bold the day before the tire, to see' if Mr. Bradford could be able to say any thing as to their identity with, the purchaser of the links. Mr. Lazarus lirst asked Mr. Bradford, 'f Am I the per son to whom you sold the links?" Mr. Bradford. replied, .' Cer tuinly not." Mr. White, without putting any question, said, that he could be able to prove by both hie servants, that he was not out of bed until past 12 o'clock on the day the links were sold by Mr. Brad ford, as lie said, about the same hour. Mr. Bradford observed, that if he saw persons in their morn ing gowns, lie would be the better able to judge as to their identity. Mr. Lazarus immediately said, that for his part be would go home and dress successively us every dress he had, or conic in a state of nudity, if necessary, to be inspected by Mr. Bradford. Witness then asked Mr. White if he would have any objection to put on his dressing-goWii, and let Mr. Bradford see him in it? The prisoner replied, that indeed he should do no such thing as to make a common puppet-show of himself in such a manner for any body: having thus concluded his evidence, this witness said that he wished to know from Mr. Blunt, the prisoner's solicitor, what he meant by saying, when he (the witness) called on him to inquire the address of the prisoner's mother-in-law, at Kentish town, that he would get nothing in that point, for that he (Mr. Blunt) had been there before him? • • Mr. Awn - altos desired Mr. Blunt not to make any reply : this was no evidence, and had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Ataxy said, that although it was not certainly evidence, yet it was material to be stated. . " Material ?" bald! Mr.. Anaseites, " I don't know what it can be material for, unless to make a paragraph in the news papers." Mr. Asa.uv—l have nothing to do with newspapers, and I don't know what you mean by always talking to me about news papers. I don't understand you. Mr. Meg:nos—Well; make a good paragraph, that's what I mean. Thomas Dodwell, ehopman to Mr. Bradford, oil and colour roan, recollected selling, ia the presence of Mr. Bradford, on the 4th of August, the day before the first tire at Mr. White's house, two links of rather an uncommon kind, having considerably inure pitch on them than is usual, and believed the part of the burned, link now produced to belong to one of those then sold. They were purchased by a man who wore a gray morninglown:betweeu ele ven and one o'clock in the day. Mr. Alley-.:have you seen the, person who purchased those links since that time to the beet of your belief? Witness ( hesitating).--I think I have. (Here the witness he came deeply affected, and shed tears.) , Mr. Alley—Do not distress yourself. Your feelings do you great credit, but you are sworn to speak the truth, and, however painful, you are bound to-do so. Have you seen the man who purchased those links since you entered this office to-day? Witnea3, weeping bitterly.—Yes, I haVe. * . Mr. Alley—Look round anti see if you can point him out. The witness was a long time before he could turn round his head, bet at length he did, his eyes streaming with tears, and point ting to the prisoner said, that is the man standing at the bar. Mr. Alley_have you seen him with Ida morning gown on lately ? Witneas—Yes, I have . be wore it at the watchhouse the night tt i e s ame of the fire, and I sa w trim thee. Mr. ALLlY—fiad you seen him from the time of selling the links until yousaw ld . m at the watchhouse? Witness---Yea,-several times, and I felt satisfied in my mind that he was • ii ius ivi e j , ile and , opv aboutlit b,t one trap-door, , person who had purchased the links. John Pope, linen-d raper , 263, High Holborn, on the night of the lut fire at Mr. White'e house, slept in t he at t ic o f his own Il heard some persons knocking at the trap-door iwthe roof, and calling out for God's sake to let them " n " i n , fo r that their, lioese was on lire. He did , as soon as p Stud . let in Mr. and Mrs. White anti their female servant. Witness then dressed himself and gave an alarm of fire to the Watchthan, who Ihrced open the door of Air. White's house. Witness went in at the same time. The par lour flisor seemed to-have been set on , firo from a room or cellar underneath, as the plaster was broken down, and the laths, &e. appeared to have been set fire to by holding a flame up Noised them. . Harriet Pigg, in the service of Afro. Bigg, the mother• in-law of the prisoner, residing at No. 4, Afoutague-place, Kentish -town, deposed, that the prisoner slept with his wife at Mrs. Bigg's house nu the five previous nights to the fire, at his house on the 18th of September; On that morn i n g lAs shop-boy came out from town, shout six o'clock, and h at i mt.. White called up, and told hire that there was a fire at his house in Holborn, but Mr. White replied that that was all nonsense, and sent him back to town again. About ten o'clock, ea M. White was just stepping on the coach to come to town, Catherine Taylor, his female servant, arrived, and told him again of the fire, upon which he observed to witness, " Afory," said he, (for they call me Mary, said the witness, though my name is Harriett), " they tell rue my hou s e has been on fire, but I mot but had very loua arm eel op ftro lust eig h t,' There is a garden door at the bask of Mrs. Diges bout*, by Which any one may go out. Witness regularly bolts this door every night, and she never found it open in the mining until the morning of the 18th of September, after the fire at Mr. White's house. Mr. Alley now called for the boy, Daniel Langdon, who had gone out to Kentish-town with an account of the fire to 111 r. White Catherine Taylor, the prisoner's servant, said, that the boy was not present, and she understood from him that morning, that Mr. Blunt, the prisoner's solicitor, desired him not to attend. Mr. Auer, with great warmth, expressed much indignation at this improper interference of Mr. Blunt's; but, that gentleman explained that the reason he desired the boy not to attend was be-, cause he considered him as a witness, not for the prosecution, but for the prisoner. Mr. ALLEY still seemed very warm on this point, and by way of keeping him in countenance, Mr. Adolphus got into a passion, too, at last. Mr. ALLEY said he never would be put doWn by the paision of any man. Mr. Anotanaus—l don't want to put you down, nor am I in any passion. I very often appear in a passion when lamby no means so. Mr. BLUI4T said, the boy should he produced next day, and this quieted Mr. Alley. Mr. Hopkinson, corn-factor, residing at No.. 5, Tavistack place, said, that the.house occupied by the prisoner, in Holborn, is rented of him (111 r. Hopkinson) by the prisoner's mother.' Frederick King, a clerk in the British Fire Assurance Office, produced the account-hook from the office, and deposed, that the house No. 265, High Holborn, with the stock in trade, furniture, &c. was insured in that office, in the year 1828,, by the pri soner's mother, for 1,0001. hitt that policy expired on the 30th 1 of May last. John Nelson, another clerk in the British Fir e office, deposed, that on the 30th of May, the prisoner took out another policy insurance ori his house, stock in trade, &e., for 3,5001. naming 2,800/. fotohis stock in trade. Mr. Wilton, 'a bookseller, also in Holborn, said, that he knew the extent of the prisoner's stock in trade, and he did not value it at more than 8001. at outside ; as for 2,8001. it was quite out of the question. The prisoner was then remanded until this day, when his final examination will take place. The office was crowded to excess during the examination. UNION-HALL.—On Tuesday afternoon, as this office was about to close, a man natned James Gray, residing in Little Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, R. J. CHAMIEttIi, Esq. charged with having com mitted a desperate assault upon his wife.—Committed. COUCH TO PRRVENT SEA SICKNESS.-Mr. : Pratt, of New Bond-street, is Soliciting a patent for a swinging elastic couch, to be used on ship-board, for the prevention of sea sickness. The contrivance is partly his own, and partly the in vention of a gentleman iu Paris. Two elastic seats upon the French plan have been lately brought into England by the Baroness de Gavedall Genney, who has satisfactorily proved by her own ex perience, and that of her maid-servant, the effective operation of the contrivance, having, in her voyage, encountered a turbulent sea, without feeling, while seated upon the cushion, any of those unpleasant sensations' of nausea which are attendant upon the pe culiar agitation of a rolling and pitched vessel. The invention appears also to he capable of very extensive use on land, by adapt ing it to the seats of chairs, sofas, couches, mattresses, and parti cularly as beds for sick persons, the elasticity of every part of the cushion aftbrding the greatest ease to the persons reclining upon it, by returning to Itcdistended figure the moment that the partial pressure is removed, or shifted from place to place, which is not the ease with feather beds, or any description of mattraeses or elastic cushions that we have heretofore used. The interior of these cushions are furnished with springs of a peculiar construction, covered on the top with abed of horse-hair, and the space neces-, sarily left unoccupied within may be conveniently adapted to re ceive bed-clothes; by which means a bed or mattress upon this plan may be constructed so that with all its appendages it may be packed up in the dimensions and form of a travelling portman teau. The materials of which these couches are made being be themselves so simple and cheap, it is probable that they may of furnished to the public in a complete state atone-third the price of any ordinary bed and bedstead.—London Journal of Arts and Menus.

On Tuesday afternoon an inquisition was held at the sign of the City of London, the corner of Sydney-street, City-road, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. to inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of Jane Mitchell, a girl only 19 years of age.
